Elaine was surprised that Lilly had asked her if she could go shopping with her, but she could never decline the opportunity to make new friends. She didn't know too many people in New York apart from her colleagues at work, and it would be good to know some people front he apartment block. Perhaps she could host a dinner party one day? Elaine decided that it would be good for her to do the shopping with Lilly, after all, she was her next door neighbour, who better than her to become friends with?

"Of course not, it would be lovely to go with you!" she told Lilly.
